Default Speed cameras ?

When did we get "speed cameras" planted on our streets? I was on a
GPS forum downloading a file (red light camera file)to add to my
new GPS and I noticed they also had a file for speed cameras. I was not
aware we had cameras monitoring our speed. Anyone ever received
a ticket in the mail?

They are looking to introduce in Mississauga but there will be warning in advance.

BTW, what else do they have on this GPS Forum?

Points of interest mostly....there are a lot to choose from.
I have added Harley Davidson dealer locations, CanadianTire
locations, and red light cameras.

I'll PM you a couple of links.

a couple of years back, (2003-2004) they were contemplating being able to ticket you for speeding on the 407 if your elaps time from on-ramp to off-ramp exceeded an average speed in excess. I haven't heard of it being followed through - but was paying attention as I was travelling from Port Hope to Dunnville every Monday & Friday. (But at that time they we're charging out of province plates either !!! )

Out here in Calgary, they're thinking of (or have already) rigged the red-light cameras to take pictures of speeders as well.

That's pretty nasty because the regular speed cameras are usually housed within a GMC Safari on the side of the road... and easy to catch.

Either way, I'll be moving out of this town in 6 weeks.
